Which raylib technologies tools can be run in a browser?
Updated
Ten of the eleven tools listed on the raylib technologies itch.io page carry a "Run in browser" option: rTexViewer, rTexPacker, rImageShield, rFXGen, rQuizzer, rIconPacker, rGuiStyler, rGuiIcons, rGuiLayout, and rrespacker. The only tool without that option is rInstallFriendly, which appears as a download-only listing.
Tools with a browser option

| rTexViewer | Textures viewer, editor, and image board | $19.95 |
| rTexPacker | Textures packer and font atlas generator | $19.95 |
| rImageShield | Image message embedder | $19.95 |
| rFXGen | FX sounds generator | (no price shown) |
| rQuizzer | Quizzer tool | $19.95 |
| rIconPacker | Icons packer and extractor | $9.95 |
| rGuiStyler | raygui styles editor | (no price shown) |
| rGuiIcons | raygui icons editor | (no price shown) |
| rGuiLayout | raygui layouts editor | (no price shown) |
| rrespacker | rres resource packer | $19.95 |
The exception
rInstallFriendly ($19.95), described as an installer packages creator, is the one listing on the page that does not show a "Run in browser" option. If your goal is to avoid installing anything, that tool is the one you cannot evaluate that way from this page.
What the browser option means in practice
The page presents these as self-contained, multiplatform tools with a command-line and a user-friendly interface, and the browser listings let you open the tool without downloading it first. That is useful for a quick check of whether a tool fits your pipeline before committing — for example, opening rTexPacker in the browser to see how it builds a font atlas, or rGuiLayout to sketch a raygui interface.
Two caveats worth noting:
- The page does not state whether the browser version is fully featured or a limited demo, so treat it as a way to try the tool rather than a guarantee of identical behavior to the desktop build.
- A listed price next to a tool does not tell you what the browser version costs or whether it is restricted; the page does not spell that out, so verify on the individual listing before relying on it.
If you want to try several tools with no installation, start with the ten above and skip rInstallFriendly.
